Intake Question
I got a phone call today from the guy I bought my Vette from. He said he recently picked up a snowflake intake for a BB that was in real good shape and thought I might be interested in it.
If I'm correct these are aluminum intakes that were cast at winters foundry, but that's about all I know. Anyone mind giving me a crash course?
FWIW, as you can tell I'm green when it comes to engine building which is why I'll be enlisting the help of a mechanic friend of mine when the time comes.

Depends on the casting number, date and if you are interested in an NCRS car. If you don't care about factory correctness, then why bother with the intake...
What intake do you have, and what year car, engine size?

Having an NCRS car isn't a big concern for me.
From that question I'm assuming these are factory intakes?
Engine is a '73 454.
